The Albany Hotel overview

The Albany Hotel is a small and friendly boutique townhouse hotel located in the heart of St Andrews, with 22 guest rooms of different sizes and layouts. Dating back to 1764, this delightful Georgian terraced house is privately owned, offering a very personal level of service.

The Garden restaurant serves a delicious and locally sourced Scottish breakfast, whilst the Bar Lounge is the prime place to spend your evenings sampling the extensive collection of Scottish whiskeys and beers available.

Golf Courses

This is the ‘home of golf’ with multiple world-class courses to choose from. Obviously, the Old Course is the big draw, however, the New, Jubilee and more recent Castle Course are arguably just as good if not better. Carnoustie and Kingsbarns are also close by, both of which need no introduction.

Accommodation

All 22 guest rooms have en-suite bathrooms, are comfortable and well-appointed, and are of differing sizes and layouts to suit all types of guests.

Restaurant & Bars

The Garden Restaurant, which opens onto a delightful walled garden and patio, offers a substantial breakfast menu – either continental or the full cooked Scottish breakfast. And after a hard day on the links, the Bar Lounge is the prime place to spend your evenings next to an open fire and sampling the extensive collection of Scottish whiskeys and beers available.

Location

The Albany Hotel is situated on North Street, which is one of 3 main streets in the center of St Andrews and could not be in a better location from which to experience the home of golf and other surrounding world-famous golf courses. Best international access is via either Edinburgh or Glasgow airports.

Golf courses near to The Albany Hotel

Craighead Links
at Crail Golfing Society

Designed in 1998 by Gil Hanse, Craighead Links at Crail Golfing Society presents a great clifftop links challenge. A great addition to the Balcomie course and makes an excellent 36-hole venue.

Medal Course
at Monifieth Golf Links

The Medal at Monifieth is an excellent links and parkland mix that dates back to 1845 and is located just 15 minutes from Carnoustie and 35 minutes from St Andrews. Ranked top 60 in Scotland.

Jubilee Course
at St Andrews Links

Perhaps the most underrated of the St Andrews courses, the Jubilee is full of character and variety. Originally opened in 1897, it underwent changes in 1988 to elevate it to championship standard.

Castle Course
at St Andrews Links

A tough links course that opened in 2008, making the Castle Course the latest addition to the St Andrews Links portfolio of courses. Superb coastal views along this interesting clifftop layout.

Strathtyrum Course
at St Andrews Links

The Strathtyrum was primarily designed to complement the existing championship layouts at St Andrews Links. Opened in 1993, the emphasis is on enjoyment with it being a shorter course.

Balcomie Links
at Crail Golfing Society

A great Old Tom Morris design dating back over 100 years, this is links golf as it used to be played with many of the original hole routings still in play today. A short layout but nonetheless a true test.

New Course
at St Andrews Links

Often overshadowed by the Old Course, the New Course is a very enjoyable links layout that will test all parts of your game. Opened in 1895 and therefore one of the oldest ‘new’ courses in the world.

Old Course
at St Andrews Links

The world’s oldest and most iconic course, host to numerous Open Championships and regarded as the spiritual home of golf. Playing the Old Course is on every golfer’s bucket list.
